He studied at the French school “Alliance” in his hometown, after his family immigrated to Israel and settled in Upper Nazareth Where he studied at the “Porat Yosef” Yeshiva in Jerusalem, where he moved to Ashdod and moved to the Makif High School and completed four years of study in bookkeeping. And his faith in the God of Israel, where he was educated in the city of his birth in a foreign country and educated by Jews and Zionists, and was nurtured by the love of the Land of Israel and the people of Israel. He later undertook to educate soldiers in the IDF to believe in Jewish values ​​when he served as a symbol of religion. He was a modest, timid boy, whose delicacy had reached shyness. All his actions were done secretly and discreetly, as he moved away from the publicity. Avraham was a lover of society and always willing to help friend and friend. He gave him a good atmosphere, which stemmed from his goodness, his judgment, and his confidence in his faith. Thanks to these qualities, he was accepted and admired in every society. He knew how to influence his friends and direct their behavior. His friends from the school remember how the whole class once decided to act against the school’s orders, and Avraham was the only one who sounded like a teacher. He managed to convince his classmates to follow suit, and after everyone realized that his path was right and right, they followed him. He never caused teachers or students to complain about him. His teachers thought he was an outstanding student, who would achieve outstanding achievements, while his friends saw him not only as a friend and a friend but as a leader and a guide. He wanted to continue his studies, began planning his future, and set goals and challenges for himself. It was clear to everyone that his willpower and perseverance would be able to meet all the tasks he had set for himself. His fall in the battle of Abraham, the believer and lover of life, interrupted his path and prevented the completion of his plans. Avraham was drafted into the IDF in early August 1972, and was trained to serve as a religious non-commissioned officer and was sent to serve in the Armored Corps in the Sinai. The unit was responsible for providing religious services to the soldiers, but this was not enough. He saw a duty to increase Jewish consciousness among the soldiers and to increase their attachment to the values ​​of Jewish tradition.

On the eve of the Day of Atonement, 5734 (1974), he stopped his vacation and returned to the stronghold on the banks of the Suez Canal in order to be together with his soldiers during the fast and perform the Yom Kippur prayers.
